1 Corinthians 15-16, Psalms 101

What God said to me – Hold fast to the word. Things around you are changing quickly and at times the upheaval seems too much. It is during those times that you most need to cling to My word. When things spin out of control and you feel like you are about to lose it, My word will anchor you. It will give you something to hold on to so you will not slip away. In it you will find the comfort and direction you need to persevere. Stay in My word and you will sense My closeness more than ever. Remember “I AM” the word so when you are in the word, you are in a very real way in Me.

1 Corinthians 12-14, Psalms 100

What God said to me – You have a place in My body.  I have put you exactly where I want you to be.  Don’t waste time wondering why you are not somewhere else or why “I AM” not using you in the way I use someone else.  Be content where I have placed you and devote yourself to serving Me as I lead you.  You must realize that whatever capacity you are serving in the church, you are serving Me.  Keep that in mind when you get tired or discouraged.  All ministry is to Me.  You must not look at numbers or response to gauge your success.  The question for you to answer is did you serve Me well?

1 Corinthians 9-11, Psalms 99

What God said to me – It takes discipline to walk consistently with Me.  It is so easy for you to make excuses.  Walking with Me is for a lifetime.  You must discipline your mind and body so you will endure.  Discipline your body so you will be fit and able to take on whatever task I call you to.  Discipline your mind so your focus is on Me.  It takes great effort to not let your mind wander.  Bringing your thoughts back to Me once you have allowed them to wander is difficult.  Staying in My word is the most helpful way to train your mind to stay focused on Me.  Memorize it and take it to heart.
